The adorable eight year old face of Martin Richard is so painful to see because his life was ended by a monster or monsters. That child filled with enthusiasm and a love of baseball was murdered while he waited for his Father to finish the marathon. Whoever did this took this precious gift from a family for some diabolical reason. I will never forget that wonderful child, and like the innocent victims of Newtown, it is a reminder that every child is so precious we must never give up the opportunities to protect our children. The monsters will always spew their hatred and continue to take the most precious members of our world, but they will always be the objects of scorn and disgust.Martin and all those that are taken by their hands will be remembered and loved and fill us with the constant commitment to love and cherish every child.
